If you're on a tight budget and need earbuds for exercise and travel, Jlab Go Air Sport is suitable due to its sweatproof design and good portability. However, if you prioritize mic quality for calls, comfort for prolonged use, and better overall sound quality, the JLab JBuds Work Wireless headphones, albeit usually more costly, offer a better experience for work and general media consumption. Additionally, they provide an extended battery life which is ideal for long-duration usage without frequent recharging. The choice largely depends on whether your focus is cost-savings and a sports-friendly design or superior comfort, sound, and call quality for work-related activities. Give Feedback

"If you want seriously bass-forward earphones for the gym, you'll be hard-pressed to find a pair more affordable than the JLab Go Air Sport. We like their long battery life and solid water-resistance rating, though we aren’t fans of their finicky on-ear controls and the case’s hardwired charging cable."

"The JLab JBuds Work is an affordable headset-headphone hybrid that you can use to listen to music in stereo and communicate on video calls thanks to a retractable boom mic, and we particularly like its convenient mono and passive wired modes. You won't find any frills here like you will with the costlier Jabra Evolve2 65 or Plantronics Voyager 4220 UC, but for less than half the price, the JBuds Work is an effective lower-cost alternative."
